The Christmas Concert will be Sunday, December 12, 3:00 p.m., at Our lady of the Snows Shrine Church.

Starting next week, sectional practices will begin at 7:00 pm:

  • Tenors: first Monday of the month (an update from 8/30/10). This is also "Goody Night."
  • Basses: second Monday of the month.
  • Altos: third Monday of the month.
  • First Sopranos: fourth Monday of the month (and 8/30/10).
  • Second Sopranos: fifth Monday of the month (fourth Monday when there is no fifth Monday).

Next week's (9/6/10) assignments:

  • Memorize the first two lines, to "warning," for "BreakForth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light."
  • Charlie Brown, measures 1-58.
  • A Christmas Blessing.
  • Children Go Where I send You, measures 35-end. Catch the U-Tube version if you can (I've always loved the Peter Paul and Mary version).
  • Rocking Christmas, measures 1-50.
  • Sopranos only: Charlie Brown measures 50-98.

Print the number from your new music envelope to the top right-hand corner of all your old and new music. Return the old music to Onnie in the same envelope. Place your new music in a black 3-ring binder - note that the concert-order is the same as the Practice CD order, which I copied to provide a Table of Contents.
